In the range-finding test fish were exposed to a series of nominal loading rates of 10 and 100 mg/l. The test material was prepared as a Water Accommodated Fraction.
Definitive test: nominal loading rate of 100 mg/l.
The concentration and stability of the test material in the test preparations were verified by chemical analysis at 0 (fresh media), 24 (old media), 72 (fresh media) and 96 hours (old media)
- Sampling method: The test material concentration in the test samples was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using an external standard. The test material gave a chromatographic profile consisting of 10 peaks. The results have been calculated using the total peak area associated with the test material.
The method was developed by the Department of Analytical Services, Safepharm Laboratories Limited.
- Sample preparation: Following the addition of sodium chloride (150 g) to the test sample (500 ml) it was extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 50 ml). The extracts were filtered through anhydrous sodium sulphate. The combined extracts were evaporated to dryness and the residue re-dissolved in acetonitrile (10 ml).

Validation of mixing period
Pre-study work was carried out to determine whether stirring for a prolonged period produced significantly higher measured test concentrations in the WAF. A WAF with a nominal loading rate of 100 mg/l was prepared, in duplicate, in algal culture medium. One loading rate was stirred for a period of 23 hours and the other for a period of 95 hours. After a 1-Hour standing period the aqueous phases were then removed by siphon and the concentration of the test material in the 100 mg/l loading rate WAFs was verified by chemical analysis. Observations made on the WAF which had stirred for a period of 95 hours indicated that gross mixing of the test material had occurred. It was therefore considered appropriate to filter the aqueous phase through a glass wool plug prior to sampling for chemical analysis.
Range finding test
The loading rate to be used in the definitive test was determined by a preliminary range-finding test.
In the range-finding test fish were exposed to a series of nominal loading rates of 10 and 100 mg/l. The test material was prepared as a Water Accommodated Fraction.
Amounts of test material (210 and 2100 mg) were each separately added to the surface of 21 litres of dechlorinated tap water to give the 10 and 100 mg/l loading rates respectively. After the addition of the test material, the dechlorinated tap water was stirred by magnetic stirrer using a stirring rate such that a vortex was formed to give a dimple at the water surface. These were stirred for 23 hours. The stirring was stopped after 23 hours and the mixtures allowed to stand for 1 hour. A wide bore glass tube, covered at one end with Nescofilm was submerged into the vessel, sealed end down, to a depth of approximately 5 cm from the bottom of the vessel. A length of Tygon tubing was inserted into the glass tube and pushed through the Nescofilm seal. The aqueous phase or WAF was removed by mid-depth siphoning (the first 75-100 ml discarded) to give the 10 and 100 mg/l loading rate WAFs. Microscopic inspection of the WAFs showed no micro-dispersions or undissolved test material to be present.
In the range-finding test 3 fish were added to each 20 litre test and control vessel and maintained at approximately 14C in a temperature controlled room with a photoperiod of 16 hours light and 8 hours darkness with 20 minute dawn and dusk transition periods for a period of 96 hours under static test conditions.
The control group was maintained under identical conditions but not exposed to the test material.
Each vessel was covered to reduce evaporation. After 3, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours any mortalities or sub-lethal effects of exposure were determined by visual inspection of the test fish.
Definitive test - experimental preparation
Due to the low aqueous solubility and complex nature of the test material for the purposes of the definitive test the test material was prepared as a Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF).
An amount of test material (2100 mg) was added to the surface of 21 litres of dechlorinated tap water to give the 100 mg/l loading rate. After the addition of the test material, the dechlorinated tap water was stirred by magnetic stirrer using a stirring rate such that a vortex was formed to give a dimple at the water surface. This was stirred for 23 hours. The stirring was stopped after 23 hours and the mixture allowed to stand for 1 hour. A wide bore glass tube, covered at one end with Nescofilm was submerged into the vessel, sealed end down, to a depth of approximately 5 cm from the bottom of the vessel. A length of Tygon tubing was inserted into the glass tube and pushed through the Nescofilm seal. The aqueous phase or WAF was removed by mid-depth siphoning (the first 75-100 ml discarded) to give the 100 mg/l loading rate WAF. Microscopic inspection of the WAF showed no micro-dispersions or undissolved test material to be present.
This method of preparation was conducted in duplicate to give replicates R1 and R2.
The concentration and stability of the test material in the test preparations were verified by chemical analysis at 0 (fresh media), 24 (old media), 72 (fresh media) and 96 hours (old media)

- Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
Validation of mixing period
Pre-study work indicated that there was a significant increase in the measured test concentrations by extending the preparation period from 24 to 96 hours. However, observations made on the WAF stirred for a period of 95 hours indicated that gross mixing of the test material had occurred. Whilst the aqueous phase was removed and filtered through a glass wool plug it was considered that some undissolved test material may have remained which may have resulted in excessively high measured test concentrations. As such it was considered that a preparation period of 24 hours was sufficient to ensure equilibration between the test material and water phase.
Range finding test
There were no sub-lethal effects of exposure during the range-finding test.
The results showed no mortalities at the 10 and 100 mg/l loading rate WAFs.
Based on this information, a single loading rate, in duplicate, of 100 mg/l using a stirring period of 23 hours followed by a 1-Hour standing period was selected for the definitive test. This experimental design conforms to a "Limit test" to confirm that no mortalities or sub-lethal effects of exposure were observed.

Sub-lethal effects
There were no sub-lethal effects of exposure observed in 14 fish exposed to a 100 mg/l loading rate WAF for a period of 96 hours.
Physico-chemical measurements
Temperature was maintained at 14°C to 16ºC throughout the test, while there were no treatment related differences for oxygen concentration or pH.
Some of the temperatures during the definitive test were observed to be slightly in excess of the range given in the protocol of 14 ± 1°C. This deviation was considered not to have affected the outcome or the validity of the test as the fish showed no sub-lethal effects or mortality over the test period.
Vortex depth measurements
The vortex depth was recorded at the start and end of each mixing period and was observed to be a dimple at the water surface on each occasion.
Observations on test material solubility
Observations on the test media were carried out during the mixing and testing of the WAFs.
At the start and end of each mixing period, and after the 1 -hour settlement period the 100 mg/l loading rate was observed to be a clear, colourless water column with colourless oily globules of test material floating at the surface. After siphoning and for the duration of the test, the 100 mg/l loading rate was observed to be a clear, colourless solution. Microscopic inspection of the WAF showed no micro-dispersions or undissolved test material to be present.
Chemical analysis of test loading rates
Analysis of the test preparations at 0 (fresh media), 24 (old media), 72 (fresh media) and 96 hours (old media) showed the measured concentrations to be less than the limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the analytical method with the exception of a measured concentration of 0.864 mg/l at 96 hours for replicate R2.
This does not infer that no test material was in solution but that the dissolved concentration (i.e. bioavailable to the test organisms) was generally below the limit of quantitation which was assessed down to 0.414 mg/l.
The dissolved test material may have been one or several components of the test material. Given that toxicity cannot be attributed to a single component or mixture of components but to the test material as a whole and the dissolved test material was generally below the quantifiable limit of the analytical method, the results were based on nominal loading rates only.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 96-Hour LL50 based on nominal loading rates was greater than 100 mg/l loading rate WAF and correspondingly the No Observed Effect Loading rate was 100 mg/l loading rate WAF.
- Executive summary:
Introduction.A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test material to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The method followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1992) No 203, "Fish, Acute Toxicity Test" referenced as Method C.1 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
Methods.Following a preliminary range-finding test fish were exposed, in two groups of seven, to a Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) of the test material, at a single nominal loading rate of 100 mg/l for a period of 96 hours at a temperature of 14°C to 16ºC under semi-static test conditions. The number of mortalities and any sub-lethal effects of exposure in each test and control vessel were determined 3 and 6 hours after the start of exposure and then daily throughout the test until termination after 96 hours.
Results.The 96-Hour LL50*based on nominal loading rates was greater than 100 mg/l loading rate WAF and correspondingly the No Observed Effect Loading rate was 100 mg/l loading rate WAF.
It was considered unnecessary and unrealistic to test at loading rates in excess of 100 mg/l.
Analysis of the test preparations at 0 (fresh media), 24 (old media), 72 (fresh media) and 96 hours (old media) showed the measured concentrations to be less than the limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the analytical method with the exception of a measured concentration of 0.864 mg/l at 96 hours for replicate R2.
This does not infer that no test material was in solution but that the dissolved concentration (i.e. bioavailable to the test organisms) was generally below the limit of quantitation which was assessed down to 0.414 mg/l.
The dissolved test material may have been one or several components of the test material. Given that toxicity cannot be attributed to a single component or mixture of components but to the test material as a whole and the dissolved test material was generally below the quantifiable limit of the analytical method, the results were based on nominal loading rates only.
